Boost Your Performance and Productivity (Online Coaching Session with Tatiana Indina)

About this event
Boost Your Performance and Productivity

Online Personal Coaching Session with Tatiana Indina

The majority of senior leaders receive little to no professional development each year.

Yet, it is their skills, behaviors, and decisions that directly affect their business - and will ultimately make or break the company.

If you are the leader of your company, how many of the following statements do you agree with?

“Because I spend so much time running the business and managing my direct reports, I’ve had very little time for my own growth and development.”
“I’m inconsistent in finding time in my schedule to evaluate my performance and find ways to improve my productivity.
“I often feel lack of energy, thinking I work so hard that one day I might just burnout”
“I wish I had more time and more energy to live a better life and do all the things I want while getting business results I aim for”
If one or more of the challenges rings true and you believe you can improve, then you may find value in my this 1 on 1 performance and productivity coaching for business owners and executives.

In the course of 1-hour session, you will get an evaluation of your current level of performance and productivity level on the scale of your highest potential.

Then together we will identify the distractors that are holding you back from being more productive.

And put together an action plan of what and how needs to be changed in your everyday routine, your habits and your schedule to boost your productivity.

Starting from reevaluating your health habits and your work schedule and ending with inserting new activities and activities your need to prioritize in order to achieve the desired results.

This Personal Performance and Productivity Session will:

Provide you with useful information and feedback on your current level of performance and productivity and your patterns and habits that are holding you back.
Give you a safe space to “think out loud” about the thinks you normally wouldn’t discuss with your colleagues, your partner or your friends.
Give you a better understanding of the specifics of how your brain and your body work : what are the things in your daily routine that take away your energy and what are your individual ways to recharge your energy and get more motivated, more inspired.
Give you an action plan of new habits and routines that will make you more productive and improve your quality of life.
Give you new insights about your inner resources to help you achieve your goals in your business and your personal life.
Book your 1 hour “Boost Your Performance and Productivity Session” with Tatiana Indina today to supercharge your life.
